2017 C-Star Member-Guest Recap

What a great finish to the C-Star Member-Guest tournament in October! Ben Beyer and his brother Bubba from Braeburn Country Club in Houston captured the championship this year with a fantastic Shoot-Out victory. They defeated Steve Stroud and his guest Don Hurrle from Ohio on the last hole when Ben hit a great second shot from the fairway to five feet from the flag! This set up a tough left to right sliding putt that Bubba executed perfectly for the win as Steve and Don carded a Net 4. We had the usual drama throughout the Shoot-Out as this particular format lends itself to a ton of excitement and fun for all of the teams participating as well as the spectators! Congratulations to all of the flight winners. The Overall Champions and Flight Winners once again received a custom buckle or money clip from the renowned Clint Orms Silversmiths. Thanks to everyone who played and supported the tournament this year.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.
